North West Dibbers - M&S Gemini

[Rebelrebel]

Has anyone been to M&S Warrington Gemini lately? I used to go there 3-4 times a month but have just been staying local since March. I've just been to my local one today and come back with just a few items as they don't seem to have what I want and I end up having to go to tesco which defeats the object as I am going to two shops so at more/creating more risk instead of getting all I want at one shop. I am wondering what Gemini's stock is like and what the queueing is like. Anyone help? Thanks

I’m close by and have been once but my cousin goes a couple of times a week. Stock is good and it all depends on time of day for the queueing. First thing appears to be the busiest and late afternoon the quietest. However, I’d avoid it for a few days at the minute as the whole area is busy because of Ikea
Maybe think about trying the Cheshire Oaks one instead?

Another alternative is one of the M& S food only stores. I walk to my local in stockton Heath and I’ve rarely had to wait to get in. I haven’t had to wait more than 10 minutes at the busiest. It’s really well stocked and if you go late afternoon there are a few bargains knocking about. If you come across the new bridge it’s not too bad for you

The queue is set up inside and goes all around the store.
St. Helens isn’t too bad, the food court isn’t as big as Gemini but has been well stocked and well organised.

Thanks, the beauty of Gemini is that I can get there is 15 mins, I'm five minutes from the motorway so although I'm travelling further than my local ones it is quicker. I've been going to Edge Lane but may try Speke next week which is slightly bigger or go to Gemini later in the afternoon early evening

I thought St Helens had closed! Used to live in Eccleston before we moved up here and haven’t been back in a while but I thought it had gone. Every day is a school day

Went to Gemini yesterday. No queue to get in, and they’ve opened up some of the clothes bits now. It’s one way going through men’s, into women’s then into the food hall and exiting through that door. Biggest queue was the tills in the women’s department. Food hall was fine, just one person in front at the till and everything I wanted in stock and shelves being replenished all the time. Just park on the food side As that side is the only entry and exit points.

It has in the town centre, it’s moved to the old Currys unit on Ravenhead Retail Park. 2 floors, limited clothes range and food department is probably about half the size of a Gemini and would be great but despite being on a retail park, the car park is always mad!

Would avoid Speke, every time I’ve driven past the queue has been back to the roundabout.

Agree about the car park, when I go there I park across in the other section.
